Anomaly is better than Drift. Drift is...kinda meh.

Yeah this was very underwhelming, kinda worried this album will suffer the same fate as the dumpster fire that was ADTR's recent album as a result of it being stuck in development hell for so long.

Oh shit! I was just jamming a few of their albums the other day wondering whatever happened to them. I'll listen to these while I'm at work.

@David - Yeah, I agree. Though I honestly like both songs.

@iChuckles - Man, I hope not. To be fair though I think ADTR had other problems outside of that album being in development hell, lol.

Was never into this band but murder mitten slaps

Can't believe scene kids all grew up to be in butt rock bands

while I do wish they had done something a little bit more adventurous, Anomaly is very solid, Drift not as immediate.

Good songs. Not like OMG THIS CHANGES THE WORLD but good yeah.

Seven years ago is probably also the last time I read the word electronicore

This is perfectly acceptable and accessible, and moreso expected for a band as pop-centric as they were. Not going to lie though, their older albums had a sound that could've easily still worked today what with hyperpop being a thing now.

Sounds totally OKAY. Obviously Sputnik folk will dislike it though. If the band produced hyper experimental garbage metal everyone here would praise them

"Anomaly" is solid. Not one of the best things they've put out, but it's euphonic enough to the ears. While I appreciate the experimentation in "Drift", it's not as strong. As a whole, for the first material released in seven years, it's kind of disappointing, but at least it's something.

i wonder what ronald thinks of this

Sounds similar to the stuff they were doing on Treehouse (just a bit blander) which is relief as that was easily their best album to my ears, interested to see what the rest of the album is like

I love how Zakk Cervini makes all these Octane bands sound the same!

was just listening to New Demons then chucked these on.... not very good.

Anomaly is pretty bland. I enjoyed drift but “djent” never crossed my mind lol. Just glad to see some new material from these guys finally. Digital Renegade is one of my all time favorite albums.
